Peace Infrastructure
Global, 2026
Peace Infrastructure is a research and design project exploring what it would mean to treat peace the way we treat roads, economies and public health. As something structural. As something requiring expertise, investment and long-term thinking. Working across scales from the body to the institution to the city, the project maps where conditions for peace already exist, where they are systematically absent, and what it would take to change that.
Refshaleøen
Copenhagen, 2026
One of Copenhagen's most significant urban transformations is underway. Cobe, leading a multidisciplinary team, has been selected to develop the structure plan for Refshaleøen, a former industrial shipyard on the edge of the city that is set to become a dense, green and distinctly unconventional urban district.
When When is supporting the team with systems transformation, working across the complexity of a long-term urban vision that must remain resilient, adaptive and alive to the social and cultural forces that will shape Refshaleøen over decades.

Heterotopias - Prototyping Food Systems
Sweden, 2024 - 2025
The speculative design project ‘Heterotopias’ was made to create an interactive food futures prototype that addressed both the affective and effective experiences of creating and living with future food systems in 2035. Interactions in different forms for both the public and for their city administrative stewards enabled them to “feel the future," igniting imagination, senses, emotions and connections.
